[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the laundry person at home.  I do everyone's laundry daily.  I sort,  use different settings and products for different loads, fold and put away. I probably run 2-3 loads every day. I have two washers for different sized loads and they are a bl

My teen is in college nearby and he brings his clothes, towels and bedsheets home every week, and I do his laundry and fold it for him. Interestingly, he had taught other boys to do their laundry in his dorm and how to fold clothes.  Why does he not do his laundry at school?  He says it is because students forget their clothes in the washer and it becomes moldy and gross.  Also, some drunk person threw up in one of the washing machines.  But the truth is that I am the laundry person at home.  I do all the laundry from clothes to bedsheet, towels, bathmats, from bookbags to uggs boots/sneakers.

He also tells me gory tales of how some students live like pigs with their floor completely covered with trash. They never change their bedsheets and keep using the same towels.  My son is a neat freak and so is his roommate. Their dorm room is neat that it is the default room for get togethers. The girls don't like to go to stinky and gross rooms.

I have certain expectations from my family members about their work and education, but household chores is really not one of them. However, my DH and kids, know how to clean the house, do laundry, cook food and iron their clothes - and will work alongside me if I ask them to.  It is just that when I am around they do not have to do it. [/quote]

Are you a stay at home mother? This is not possible for working parents. If the machines at college are gross then your kid can do his laundry at your house——not you. Best of luck to your child’s future spouse. [/quote]
